Clarence was a big guy with a big heart! I remember he was always kind and friendly to everyone. He had a great smile, too!Andy DeWitt
One thing about Clarence that I always admired about Clarence was his heart and he had a big one! He was one of the few guys at RHHS that was bigger than me and Bimbo. A big, big rose to a big, big MAN! See ya on the other side.Donnie Blair
Clarence always had that grin or smile. A great guy who is missed. A rose is in order.Carolyn Hancock (Finley)
I remembered Clarence as such a great guy with a great smile and always treated everyone with respect. How could anyone not like him. Truly a good soul - a rose for you and your family. Carolyn Hancock FinleyJohn T Brown
Big "C" was my best friend at Rock Hill High. We had some good times.

Clarence used to look after me in the crowds in the halls. I always felt safe when he was somewhere out there. Just a little joke we had.

I was at a high school football game a number of years ago and talked with Clarence for most of the game about times at RHHS. He hadn't changed and still had the same smile that I remembered from high school. I enjoyed the times we had in chorus. Steve Courtney

Clarence and I sat next to each other in chorus (what a voice). I was always envious of the notes he could hit. He had a great heart and was always true to himself and others. He is surely missed but fondly remembered.

Yes, The voice he had was unbelievable. I saw him several years ago, and asked him if he did anything with his voice. He said, Just singing at church....For him, That was enough....Miss you big guy....

I liked Clarence a lot. He was definitely the biggest man on the high school football practice field. It really scared me on an extremely hot day when he passed out. I was so relieved when we saw that he was going to be okay.
